RAHU KALAM

RAHU KALAM;
According to Vedic astrology, certain parts of the day, called Rahu Kalam, are inauspicious periods and one should not undertake any auspicious work during these periods - especially any new undertaking.
Rahukalam differs from place to place depending on Sun-rise & Sun-set time. The day duration from Sun-rise to Sun-set, at a particular location, is divided into eight equal parts. There is no Rahu Kalam during the first period of any weekday. On Monday it falls on the 2nd period, Saturday 3rd period, Friday 4th period, Wednesday 5th period, Thursday 6th period, Tuesday 7th period & Sunday 8th period.
The following are the details of the Rahukalam (also known as rahukal or rahu kal) periods in in operation during the various week days. This is based on 6:00 AM local Sun-rise time and 6:00PM local Sun-set time. If the Sun-rise and Sun-set times are different, you can take the Day duration, divide it in to 8 equal parts and apply the above given formula.
Since the Raahu Kalam is dependent on the Sun-rise and Sun-set times of your particular location, you must calculate it for each day using the bellow method.
Your local Sun-rise & Sun-set times are usually given in the local news papers.

Raahu Kaalam Calculation
Week day
Example 1:Sunrise 6:00 a.m.Sunset 6:00 p.m.1/8 of Day = 90 minutes
Example 2:Sunrise 5:58 a.m.Sunset 8:14 p.m.1/8 of Day = 107 minutes
Example 3:Sunrise 6:36 a.m.Sunset 6:10 p.m.1/8 of Day = 87 minutes

How to remember Rahu Kalam
Since all Rahu kalams are of 1 hour 30 minutes duration, it very easy to remember the exact times through a mnemonic.
All you need to remember is the phrase " [--Mother Saw Father Wearing The Turban Slowly.]"
M-other = Monday = 7:30 to 9:00

S-aw = Saturday = 9:00 to 10:30

F-ather = Friday = 10:30 to 12:00

W-earing = Wednesday = 12:00 to 13:30

T-he = Thursday = 13:30 to 15:00

T-urban = Tuesday = 15:00 to 16:30

S-lowly = Sunday = 16:30 to 18:00

Rahu kalam
Sunday -4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. -
Monday -7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.
Tuesday -3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Wednesday -12 noon to 1:30 p.m.
Thursday -1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Friday -10:30 a.m. to 12 noon
Saturday -9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.

EASY WAY TO REMEMBER:
"Mother Saw Father Wearing The Turban"
M(other)- 7:30 - 9:00 - MONDAY
S(aw) - 9:00 - 10:30 -SATURDAY
F(ather) - 10:30 - 12:00 - FRIDAY
W(earing) - 12:00 - 1:30 -WEDNESDAY
TH(e) - 1:30 - 3:00 - THURSDAY
TU(rban) - 3:00 - 4:30- TUESDAY
Left with Sunday - 4:30 - 6:00
ASSUMING THE SUNRISE IS AT 6:00 AM

Yamagandam
Like Rahukalam the following periods known as Yamagandam during which it is considered to be inauspicious to start any important work.
Monday ------10-30 --AM --to --12 -00--PM
Tuesday ------9-00 --AM --to--10 -00---AM
Wednesday ---07-30 --AM --to 09--oo-- AM
Thursday----- 06-00-- AM -to- -07-30 ---AM
Friday---------03-00 PM --to---4-30 -----PM
Saturday ------1-30 PM ---to---- 03 -00---PM
Sunday-12 -00 PM TO 1-30 PM


According Hindu Astrology, there are seven days in a week viz., from Sunday to Saturday. Each day is being ruled by a particular planet and has its own ruling deity. The ancient texts says that ruler of the day is prescribed that is as under:
Sunday is ruled by Ravi
Monday is ruled by Chandra
Tuesday is ruled by Kuja
Wednesday is ruled by Budha
Thursday is ruled by Guru
Friday is ruled by Sukra
Saturday is ruled by Saturn

In addition to the above, the ancient rushies have given equal importance to Rahu and Ketu. However, they did not give any specific day for them as they treated Rahu and Ketu as nodes. However, Rahu and Ketu will be given one and half hours time in a day resulting three hours for Rahu and Ketu.
Out of 24 hours time, if we deduct three hours (one and half-hours for Rahu and another one and half-hours for Ketu) comes to 21 hours, which is shared by the seven planets. However, Rahu and Ketu have been given equal powers by rushies. If we calculate the time, the total time given to Rahu and Ketu in a week is 21 hours. Let us see how to calculate.
Rahu Kalam = 1.30 x 7 = 10.30
Yama Kalam = 1.30 x 7 = 10.30
Total time: 21.00 hours
For calculating Rahu Kalam and Yama Kalam, from Sun rise to Sunset will be divided into 8 equal parts.
The first part will become the day of the ruler. For example, if we take Sunday, the first part is Ravi and hence, the day is ruled by Ravi. After deducting the first part of the day, the time of Rahu Kalam is calculated within the seven parts. For easy calculating of Rahu Kalam, we remember the following sentence.

'Mother Saw Father Wearing The Turban on Sunday'
If we want to calculate the Rahu Kalam, if the Sunrise is 6am, as we discussed earlier, leave first one and half hours. The rest of the seven can be divided into seven parts. On any day, the first part is called Rahu Kalam.
Ex. Mother = Monday - 7.30 to 9.00amSaw = Sunday - 9.00 to 10.30amFather = Friday - 10.30 to 12.00 noonWearing = Wednesday - 12.00 to 1.30pmThe = Thursday - 1.30 to 3.00pmTurban = Tuesday - 3.00 to 4.30pmSunday = Sunday - 4.30 to 6.00pm
Therefore, before calculating the Rahu Kalam one has to take into consideration of the Sun rise time.

NAVA DURGA

NAVA DURGA Nava – means 'new' – denotes 'nine' the number to which sages attach special significance.



Nava-ratri (9 nights),

Nava-patrika (9 leaves / herbs / plants),

Nava-graha (9 planets),

Nava-Durga (9 appellations)
Goddess Durga is worshipped in different forms . She is a form of " Shakti" .The evolution of Shri MahaSaraswati, Shri Mahalaxshmi & Shri Mahakali ( the main 3 forms of Shakti) took place from Shri Brahma , Shri Vishnu & Shri Mahesh respectively.Each of these 3 deities gave rise to 2 more forms.So , in all , these 9 forms together are known as " Navadurga ".


Long back there lived a daemon king named " Mahishasur " ( also called as Daemon with a face of buffalo) who was very strong.He harrassed God Indra , fought with him and captured his throne.He was very proud of his strength.Indra went to the almighty gods - Brahma , Vishnu , & Mahesh , for help.These gods decided to teach a lesson to Mahishasur.They unitedly created a goddess "Shakti" and offered her their weapons to fight Mahishasur, who had become untolerable.Goddess Shakti fought with Mahishasur for full 9 days and ultimately killed him with her spear.Hence Durga is also known as " Mahishasur-Mardini ".The 9 days for which the goddess fought & Killed the evil daemon Mahishasur are celebrated as a major festival called " Navaratra".This festival is celebrated in a big way all over India in the month of " Aashwin" ( as per Hindu Calender)for the first 9 days .During the festival of Navratri, Goddess Durga Devi is worshipped in nine avatars. During these nine holy days, each day one of the forms of goddess Durga Mata is worshipped. On these days, devotees perform Durga pooja .

Names of Navadurga : (9)
1-Shailputri
2-Brahmaputri
3-Chandraghanta
4-Kushmanda
5-Skandamaata
6-Kaatyayani
7-Kaalratri
8-Mahagauri
9-Siddhidatri

1) Durga Shailputri:

Shailputri means the daughter of the mountain, Himalaya. In this form we see the divine Mother holding a trident in her right hand and a lotus on her left. She is seen seated on an ox.

In her previous birth, she was called Sati, Bhavani and was the daughter of King Daksha. After a lot of penance, she married Lord Shiva. But her father King Daksha was not too pleased. He had arranged for a Yagya/Yagna (Ritual done around the sacrificial fire) where he invited everyone except his son-in-law, Lord Shiva. Upset and feeling humiliated, Sati decided to attend the event uninvited. There, her father insulted Lord Shiva and in fury she stood on the sacrificial fire and burnt herself alive.
Lord Shiva enraged, ordered his followers to demolish the Yagya. Sati was reborn as the daughter of the king of the mountains, Himalaya in the name of Parvati - Hemvati and got married with Lord Shiva again. Her this Swaroop is worshipped on the first day of the Navratri celebrations.

2) Brahmacharini: Brahmacharini or Tapasyacharini is Goddess’s second form. The name holds the meaning of true penance and meditation. Her form depicts her holding a rosary beads in her right hand and a Kamandalu, a pot containing holy water in her left. In her previous life, when she was reborn as the daughter of Himalaya, she performed severe penance to have Lord Shiva as her husband. Narad Muni, the divine sage advised her to take up meditation to win Him. Her intense devotion, steadfastness and strict meditation for years under extreme conditions, gave her the name of Brahmacharini.

3) Chandraghanta: Goddess Durga’s third form is known as Chandraghanta or Shakti. Chandra means moon and Ghanta is the bell. This name finds its explanation in the half-circular moon on the temple of the Goddess that resembles a bell. She is three eyed with ten hands. Each hand holds ten different weapons. She is seated on lion and is worshipped on the third day of the Navratri celebration. Her hue is golden and her appearance always spreads a calm and eternal peace all round. She is unprecedented image of bravery. The frightful sound of her bell terrifies all the evil and demon. Worship of this deity helps to eliminate the sorrow, hazards and dangers in ones life.

4) Kushmanda:Kush means happiness and she created the universe with a smile. She is radiant as the Sun and rides a lion. She is Ashtabhuja or eight handed. Her seven hands hold the holy pot, Kamandul, a bow, an arrow, a lotus, a pot containing wine, a disc and a club. The eighth hand holds a string of rosary beads that is believed to provide success and prudence.

5) Skanda Mata: Lord Kartik/Kartikeyan/Karthikeyan is also known as Skanda. As Goddess Durga is his mother, she is referred to as Skanda Mata. She is a deity of fire with four arms. She holds her son Skanda with the top right hand and lotus in her lower hand. The top left hand is positioned in a blessing gesture or Abhaya Mudra. She is fair complexioned, seated on a lotus and so also referred to as Padmasana.

6) Katyayani: Sage Katyaayan was the son of the great sage Kat. He observed rigorous penance and worship of Bhagavati Paramba with a desire to get Paramba as his daughter. His wish was granted. The daughter born was named Katyayani. She has four hands. The top right hand is positioned in a gesture of providing courage while the other hand is positioned in a gesture of rendering a boon. The top left hand holds a sword and the other a lotus. The goddess rides a lion and worshiped on the sixth day of the Durga puja.

7) Kalratri: Ratri means night so her complexion is as dark as the night. She has long, unmated hair with her three eyes that are shiny and bright. She has four arms and is seen mounted on a Shav/Shava or dead body. Her right hand holds a sword, while her lower hand is in a blessing stance. The left hand holds a burning torch and the lower left hand is in fearless position. She is known as Shubhamkari or the auspicious one. Her form encourages her devotees to be fearless.

8 ) Maha Gauri: It is said that when the body of Goddess Gauri got dirty due to dust and earth while she was observing penance to attain Lord Shiva. So he cleansed her with the holy waters of Ganges. Her body transformed into bright and luminous like lightening and so her eighth form is known as “Maha Gauri” .Her clothes and ornaments are also white. Her visage is calm and peaceful and she is three eyed. She rides on a bull. Her four hands denote different meanings, like the left hand is in the fearless gesture and the lower on holds a trident. The above right hand has tambourine and lower right hand is in blessing style.

9) Siddhidatri: The ninth form is Siddhidatri. There are eight Siddhis (Special powers which can only be attained from severe penance and meditation)-Anima, Mahima, Garima, Laghima, Prapti, Prakamya, Iishitva & Vashitva. Maha Shakti gives all these Siddhies. It is mentioned in the Devi Puran” that Lord Shiva got all these Siddhis by worshipping Maha Shakti.

With her gratitude, Lord Shiva’s body also contains the Goddess and so he has the form and name of Ardha Narishvar. Ardha means half. The goddess rides on a lion. The Siddhidatri form is worshipped by all gods, rishis, munis (Saints and Sages), siddhas, yogis, sadhakas (Devotees) for attaining merit and boons of their severe penances.

5. From him the brilliant Viraaj was born, from Viraj came the primal Purusha.
When he was born, he spread beyond the earth, on all the sides to create all beings.

Narayana Sooktam -- Hymn to Lord Narayana

NARAYANA SOOKTAM

Sahasraa sersham devam viswaasham viswaasambhuvam
Viswam naaraayanam devamaksharam pramam padam

This universe is the eternal being (Narayana), the imperishable, the supreme, the goal, multi-headed and multi-eyed (i.e., omnipresent and omniscient), the resplendent, the source of delight for he whole universe.

Viswataah paramam nityam viswam naaraayanam hariim
Viswaamevedam purushaastadvisvampajeevati

This universe is the supreme being (Purusha) alone; hence it subsists on that, the eternal which transcends it (in every way), the omnipresent absolute which destroys all sins.

Patim viswasyatmeswaram saswatam sivamachyutam
Naaraayanam mahaajneyam viswaatmanam paraayanam

The protector of the universe, the lord of all souls (or lord over self), the perpetual, the auspicious, the indestructible, the goal of all creation, the supreme object worthy of being known, the soul of all beings, the refuge unfailing (is he).

Naaraayanaa paro jyotiratma naaraayanaa paraah
Naaraayanaa param brahmaa tattwam naaraayanaah paraah
Naaraayanaa paro dhyaatah dhyaanam naaraayanah paraah

The lord Narayana is the supreme absolute; Narayana is the supreme reality; Narayana is the supreme light; Narayana is the supreme self; Narayana is the supreme meditator; Narayana is the supreme meditation.

Yachca kinchit jagat sarvam drshyate srooyatepi va
Antar bahisca tatsvaram vyapya naaraayanaah sthitah

Whatever all this universe is, -seen or heard of, -pervading all this from inside and outside alike, stands supreme the eternal divine being (Narayana).

Anantamavyayam kavim samudrentam viswaa sambhuvam
Padma kosaa praateeksam hrdayam capyadho mukham

He is the limitless, imperishable, omniscient, residing in the ocean of he heart, the cause of the happiness of the universe, the supreme end of all striving, (manifesting himself) in the ether of the heart which is comparable to an inverted bud of the lotus flower.

Adho nishtya vitastyante nabhyaamupari tishtati
Jwaalamalaa kulaam bhaati vishwasyayatanam mahat

Below the adams apple, at a distance of a span, and above the navel (i.e., the heart which is the relative seat of the manifestation of pure consciousness in the human being), effulges the great abode of the universe, as if adorned with garlands of flames.

Santaatam silaabhistu lambaatyaa kosaannibham
Tasyante sushiram sookshman tasmin sarvam pratishtam

Surrounded on all sides by nerve-currents (or arteries), suspends the lotus-bud of the heart in an inverted position. It is in a subtle space (a narrow aperture, the sushumna-nadi), and therein is to be found the substratum of all things.

Tasyaa madhye mahaanagnir vishwachir visvato mukha
Sograabhugvibhajan tishthannahaaraa maajaraah kaavih

In that space within the heart resides the great flaming fire, undecaying, all-knowing, with tongues spread out in all directions, with faces turned everywhere, consuming food presented before it, and assimilating it unto itself.

Triyaa goordhwaa masdhassayee rasmayaatasyaa santataa
Santapayati swam deha mapadatalaamaastaagah
Tasyaa madhye vahnisikha aaneeyordhwaa vyaavasthithaa

His rays, spreading all around, side ways as well as above and below, warm up the whole body from head to foot. In the center of that (flame) abides the tongue of fire as the topmost of all subtle things. (note: due to the attachments and entanglements of the jiva in worldly enjoyment and suffering, the consciousness is enshrouded in potential as well as expressed objectivity, and hence it appears like a tiny streak of flame within the dark clouds of ignorance. But when the jiva rises above worldliness the consciousness is realized as he infinite.)

Neelaatoyaada madhyaasthad vidyullekhavaa bhaswaraa
Neevaaraasooka vattanvee peeta bhaswatyanoopama

Brilliant like a streak of lightning set in the midst of the blue rain-bearing clouds, slender like the awn of a paddy grain, yellow (like gold) in colour, in subtlety comparable to the minute atom, (this tongue of fire) grows splendid.

Tasyaa sikhayaa madhye paramaatmaa vyavasthithaah
Saa brahmaa saa sivaah saa hariih sendraah soksharaah paramah swarat

In the middle of that flame, the supreme self dwells. This (self) is Brahma (the creator), Siva (the destroyer), Hari (the protector), Indra (the ruler), the imperishable, the absolute, the autonomous being. Prostrations again and again to the omni-formed being, the truth, the law, the supreme absolute, the Purusha of blue-decked yellow hue, the centralised-force, power, the all-seeing one.

Ritam satyam param brahmaa purusham krishnaa pingalam
Oordhwaaretam viroopaaksham viswaroopaayaa vai namo namah

Prostrations again and again to the omni-formed being, the truth, the law, the supreme absolute, the Purusha of blue-decked yellow hue, the centralised-force, power, the all-seeing one.

Naaraayanayaa vidhmahe Vasudevaayaa dheemahi Tanno vishnuh prachodayaat

We commune ourselves with Narayana, and meditate on vasudeva, may that vishnu direct us (to the great goal).

Vishnornukam veeryaani pravocham yaah paarthivaani raajaamsi yo
Askabhayaaduttaram sadhastham vichaakramanas tredhorugayo vishnuh
Raaratamasi vishnuh syooraasi vishnuh dhruvamsi vaishnavaamasi vishnave tva

Which valor and deed of the all-pervading Vishnu may I glorify? He has enveloped the earth and he heaven even up to the minutest dust of creation. Vishnu supports the abode of gods, preventing it from being shaken from its position. He takes three strides (which may mean the three strides which Vishnu took in his incarnation as Vamana or the three strides which the sun is supposed to take in the sky during the day, or he form Vishnu is supposed to take as Agni, vayu and Surya) as the most gloriously euoligised one. O thou, instrument of yajna, who are the front and rear of vishnu’s form as yajna, thou who art its mouth and its connection. Thou art the firm support. Thou art verily Vishnu. I prostrate myself before thee.

Om shanti shanti shantih

Om. May there be peace, peace, peace

KANDA SHASTI VIRATHAM

Skanda Shasti or Kanda Shasthi Vrata

Kanda Shasthi Vratam is an important observance to LORD KARTHIKEYA. It is observed in the Tamil month of Aippasi ,after Deepavali( October - November) and most devotees fast during the 6-day period.

In addition to the Skanda Sashti, devotees of Lord Subramanya observe weekly and monthly days in His honour. Every Friday, or the Kartigai Nakshatram day every month, or the sixth day of the bright fortnight,-all these are sacred days for His devotees. The sixth day of the month of Tulam (October-November) is the most auspicious of them all. This is the Skanda Sashti day.

There is no common method of Skanda Shasti fasting. Different devotees observe it differently. But there are some basic rules followed by all the devotees.Non-vegetarian food is completely avoided during the period. Those who are observing the fast make it a point to read scriptures related to Lord karthikeyan ( Kanta Shasti Kavasam or Subramaniya Bhujangam,kandaguru kavasam,kanda puranam.)Most devotees also visit Skanda temples during the period.

Sashti: Sashti is the sixth phase of moon. This is an auspicious day for lord Muruga. According to the legend, Lord Muruga slayed the demon Soorapadman on sashti and every sashti is devoted to Lord karthikeya. This vratham is observed by all devotees of Lord karthikeya. This vratham is observed to get progeny

Kanda Shasti fasting, some devotees only take a single meal a day. Some take the meal at noon and others at night. Some devotees take only fruits and juices ,coconut water and lime juice,during the 6-day period.

The Shasti fasting begins with sunrise. The fast is broken on the next day morning after praying to Lord Surya (Sun God).Most people observing the fast make it a point to visit Murugan Temple on this day. It is a complete fast in many places. But this might not be quite possible for many people due to job, health and other reasons. So many people take some sort of vegetarian food on this day – this is usually a single meal in the afternoon or night.
Many people take for a fruit diet on the day. Some avoid solid food.In several Kerala Muruga temples, many devotees eat a single rice meal at noon given from the temple. The cooked rice is consumed without any major side dishes.The method of fasting differs from region to region. But all non-vegetarian food is avoided on the day.
Devotees listen to stories related to Skanda and reading of Skanda Purana. Another activity during the day is the reciting of Kanta Shasti Kavasam.
Fasting is not just abstaining from food but it also an attempt to instill positive thoughts. Many people use fasting as a means to fight against anger, lust, impatience and other negative tendencies. All Vratas associated with Hindu religion is an attempt to realize the Brahman.
Kanda Shasti Vratam is observed once a year in the month of ‘Aippasi’ (October–November) starting from the ‘piratamai’ the 1st phase of the brightening moon.Of all Kanda temples it is the one in Tirunchendur in Tamil Nadu, India that draws the largest number of Kanda devotees. All roads, at the time of the Vratam, seem to lead to Tirunchendur. Beside the temple by the sea there appears to be a sea of heads. The Kantan's Tiruvilaiyaadal (divine sport) Soora Samharam is enacted during the sixth day of the festival. This is a drama to grant a great boon to Curapatman by Kantan. Curapatman is given the honour of becoming Kantan's vehicle mayil vahanam (peacock vehicle) and ceval kodi (the rooster on Kantan’s flag).Skanda shasti means trimph of lord Subhramanya over the evil sura padma.The son of lord Siva killed the demon sura padma with his holy spear(vel) and brought relief and joy to the suffering demi Gods and humanity.Allegorially the vel represents Jana sakti(Power of wisdom) of the lord. Sura padma the demon of ego and ignorance with in us. Lord subhramanya is hence considered to be the personification of wisdom itself. The five days prior to skanda shashti are days of severe austerities for the devotees of Muruga. The day after skanda shshti is celebrated as Deva sena Kalyanam

This is celebrated with great eclat in temples, especially in the six places sacred to Muruga .
